v.2
Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night til they come back around
Please come to Denver, she said "No"
"Boy, would you come home to me?"

Rpt. Ch. [Denver]

Now this ^Emdrifter's world goes ^Dround and round
An' I ^Cdoubt if it's ever gonna ^Gstop
But of ^Emall the dreams I've ^Dlost an' found
An' ^Call that I ain't got
I still need to ^Amcling to somebody I can ^Dsing to

v.3
Please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
An there's some stars that fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to LA, she just said "no"
"Boy, would you come home to me?"

Rpt. Ch. [LA]
